Ripped Jeans. I don’t get it.

I’ve noticed a few ripped jeans on my day excursions into town. Every time I see a young girl wearing them, my initial thought is ‘Oh, those jeans have outlived their use, time to chuck them in the bin’. At first, I thought it was a laziness thing. That they couldn’t mead them. I was then corrected to then find that they’re actually a style. People buy new jeans with rips in them?! Even men’s fashion feature rip jeans! I don’t understand? Is it sexy to expose the knee? Don’t they get a chill? They look tatty. I thought they would be discounted because the jeans are damaged but nope it’s a style, they still cost just the same amount as non-ripped jeans!I don’t think I’ll ever understand that style. To me, ripped jeans are gardening jeans, not something you where out in public! Rip off.

This is one of the reasons why Queenstown became a mess.
People are too worried about someone else’s business instead of worrying about your own problems. Please get your judging habits together and solve them.
Young girls can use whatever they like to. Actually, every woman has the right to use whatever they want to use. If it is looking sexy, chilled or tatty, this is not your business.
I encourage you to use this space to talk about reasonable subjects like climate change, poverty, education, unemployment, health care, and corruption.
Have a lovely day!

Throughout history, thousands of fashion trends have come and gone. It is statistically impossible that every single one of them would appeal to you personally. It should not be anyones concern to 'understand' stranger's fashion choices (particularly young girls...?), much less to write in to a local publication to complain about it. My advice would be to stop trying to understand something that has nothing to do with you, rock your ripped jeans in the garden if that's where you like to wear them, and keep your opinions on young girl's outfits to yourself.

Do you think the Southern District Health Board has the measles outbreak in Queenstown under control?
